Cory Sandhagen, who was coming off a controversial decision loss to T.J. Dillahsaw, fought Song Yadong in the headliner. Several bouts were shifted from UFC 279 onto this card as the promotion adjusted its schedule, including Trey Ogden vs. Daniel Zellhuber and Nikolas Motta vs. Cameron VanCamp. Aspen Ladd vs. Sara McMann was scrapped after Ladd missed weight, and Lando Vannata withdrew from his bout with Andre Fili, leading to Fili vs. Bill Algeo instead.
